"Jay-Z, Beyoncé Bill" Aiming to Restrict Travel to Cuba, "Playing to Audience in Miami"

snip

Rocking "guayabera shirts and bandanas," Jay-Z may have "turned Havana to Atlanta" momentarily this past May when he and Beyoncé visited Cuba.

But if Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee get their way, the couple's first Treasury Department-approved cultural exchange trip to the Caribbean island may have also been their last.

A subcommittee chaired by Rep. Ander Crenshaw (R-Fla.) approved a 142-page bill yesterday that would, among other things, make it even more difficult for Americans to legally visit Cuba.

We need a jobs bill. This is how and why they get away with being absolutely worthless.
